Review NaN of , from Akron, Oh, USA

Price Paid:  $20.00 from k-mart

Summary:
Wow, I read all of the previous reviews and was shocked.
I bought these back in 1996, and have tortured them ever since. I use them for LAN party gaming, they are comfortable (even over glasses), and it took me 5 years to finaly crack a piece of the plastic headpiece. they give clear response in gaming and can be worn for hours. I have bought and returned 2 other pairs of headphones, including a $50 set of plantronics that claimed to have great gaming and sound response.
All in all, I am quite happy with these, and am repiaring them as we speak with epoxy because they are so hard to find now.

Strengths:
STURDY, decent gaming headphones

Weaknesses:
none for what I use them for.

Review NaN of , from Winder, GA, USA

Summary:
I had begun mixing down some tracks with my Mackie mixer to send them to tape from my computer, when I picked up these headphones because they were laying there when a great depression set in. "How could I been so totally wrong in my EQ" I thought, I'd been mixing in software, but come on! Then I switched out the headphones and everything was back to normal. PHEW! I wouldn't listen to a tape of a dog licking it's ass with these phones...

GRRR

Strengths:
NONE

Weaknesses:
Crappy, mud-licking sound

Review NaN of , from Scranton

Price Paid:  $19.00 from Service merchandise

Summary:
I figured I wouldn't paly the buy and return game with Service Merchandise and didn't know you could sample at circuit City, so I removed the earcushions and they are fantastic and not uncomfortable. It's the distance the cups bulge that causes the weekness. grab them and pluck them off.

Strengths:
You Must remove the cups

Weaknesses:
None are apparant if the leather cups are removed

Review NaN of , from Melrose Park, IL, USA

Summary:
I had only demoed these headphones at Best Buy (when the store had demo models out on the rack, but not any more), and I will have to agree with most of the posts about this model.

In short, they were really lacking. Tiny hollow bass, muddy can-like mids, harsh screechy highs... blech. On some decent equipment nonetheless.

If sound quality is important to you, avoid these (and all other headphones under $40 list). Sony does make some great sounding headphones, but the MDR-CD60 isn't one of them.

Strengths:
Price, comfortable design

Weaknesses:
Everything else
